摘要

A CPU 290 of a recording/reproducing device 200 make a recording section 251 record contents reserved by a user for video recording in an HDD 270 , and sets remaining time until the contents is automatically deleted. The CPU 290 determines, when a period T is over, whether access to the contents has been carried out or not, and adds additional time D to the remaining time when the CPU 290 determines that the access has been made, and subtracts the period T from the remaining time when the CPU 290 determines that the access has not been made. The CPU 290 executes the afore-mentioned processing once in each period T, and automatically deletes the contents from the HDD 270 when the CPU 290 recognizes that the remaining time is zero or below.
